Summary

This phase II trial investigates how well brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab work in treating patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after initial treatment (relapsed) or has not responded to initial treatment (refractory). Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Nivolumab is an antibody that enhances the immune system to better fight Hodgkin lymphoma cells. Giving brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab may be able to defer stem cell transplant treatment and spare the considerable cost and toxicity on transplantation.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs — brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab — for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or stopped responding after initial treatment, and who are not candidates for a stem cell transplant. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma confirmed by biopsy - Your disease has relapsed or not responded after one prior line of therapy - You are not eligible for a stem cell transplant (due to age, other health conditions, or personal preference) - You are in reasonably good health (ECOG 0-2) - You can provide a tissue sample from your cancer **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (a different subtype) - You have had more than one prior line of treatment - You have significant organ damage or other serious health problems - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
